Do I get to move in or not?
I have been living with my sister since the first week in July. Since then I have found a two bedroom apartment with a 2 car garage it is brand spanking new. They just built the apartments and it is small but perfect for my son and I. It will do for now.
Well, when I first signed the lease it was mid-July and I couldn't wait to move in. The property manager let me move all of my belongings into the garage which saved me from having to pay for storage. The property manger didn't want me to move in just yet she needed the power company to fix something on the circuit breaker box and so she wanted me to wait a week to move in. I was perfectly fine with it. After a week I called the property manager and asked if I could move in and she said the City has issues with the drainage on the street and they wouldn't allow my to move in until it was fixed. I said no problem as long as it has nothing to do with the actual apartment. I have been calling her every week since and am still staying with my sister because the work has still not been completed.
I finally called her and explained to her that if I could not move in by the end of the week, I was going to start looking for another place to live. She called me back and said that she has posted a bond to get the work done and hired a engineer to provide an estimate. She said that she spoke to the City and they agreed to let me move in by the end of the week if not the beginning of next, as long as the property manager did her part, which she claims to have done. Hopefully if everything goes the way it should I will be living in my new place come Monday.
I hated for my son to start his first week of school living at my sisters. I had to inconvenience my sister once again to take my son to his bus stop because I work at 6 in the morning and was unable to. She said she didn't mind but I did.
My sister has done so much for me the past couple of months I have decided that when I get my deposit from the old house I am going to buy her and her husband some steaks and crab legs so they can have a nice dinner for two. I owe her my life for putting up with my son and I for almost 2 months. She is the best sister a girl could ask for. Thanks for everything sis. I love you!
